I don't think this project is efficient at all. The computers are left unable to send tasks because the server stops working at noon on Thursdays and won't restore the connection until the following Friday night, losing several tasks without being able to send them. (see log on https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=1107&postid=8868#8868 )

On the other hand, the server doesn't send any more tasks on Saturdays, leaving my computer ID: 800158 empty. (see log on https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=1107&postid=8872#8872 ).

This project leaves the computers for long hours without being able to send or process tasks due to poor task management.

I'm currently trying to restart the project, but the server is clearly showing no more tasks available. The other computer seems to have enough tasks to process because it's less powerful. While the more powerful one completes one unit of work per minute, the other takes more than twice as long.

However, I find stellar photometry a very interesting project, because other projects work for private institutions, since gpudrig works for large pharmaceutical companies.

Hi, the server recently experienced connection issues due to DDoS attacks. Additionally, the DNS changed this week, so if your local cache retained the old IP for a while, your PCs may have been unable to connect. Those issues are hopefully finally resolved.

Unlike some other projects, Asteroids tasks require manual preprocessing and work loading. At times, work may not be available, this is normal and there's no need for concern.

you can check the availability on the server status page

ok, thx

the server is green, but, my computer is empty 20:30 saturday to actually id 800158

el proyecto es un desastre, hoy ha vuelto a fallar el servidor, dejo de enviar tareas a las 9:00am, de la mañana y ya no tengo ninguna unidad en mi ordenador 800158 , y son las 14:51 y el ordenador no se puede comunicar con el servidor ni para enviar las tareas

You are very vocal about this!
Most projects have periods without work available, as I write SiDock is out, and WCG had a whole month offline over Christmas and New Year. Elsewhere in this forum you can find information as to what is required to make work become available.
Like everyone else, you are only a volunteer here, there is no obligation for you to participate, nor is there any obligation from the University to make WU's available to anyone, inlcuding you.
If you don't like it, you only have to detach from the project; you can also turn your computer off, join another project, or if you feel so strongly about it, then get your own data, write your own code, make a server available and run your own project (and after that, earn a living, look after your family, maybe have a social life, and reply to messages on your project forum) - BOINC is after all FOSS.
Were you to volunteer for an organisation that helped those in poverty, would you spit your pacifier out when there was no longer anyone in poverty?

Computers spend long hours without computing tasks due to poor management, servers do not send tasks and constantly fail, sometimes the servers work, however they do not send tasks, other times they fail and tasks cannot be sent, the task forecast by the planner only gives for 2 hours of work in the best of cases.


las computadoras pasan largas horas sin computar tareas por una mala gestion, los servidores no envian las tareas, y fallan constantemente, ahora los servidores funcionan, sin embargo no envian tareas, otras veces fallan y no se pueden enviar tareas, la prevision de tareas por el planificador solo da para 2 horas de trabajo en el mejor de los casos.

Tienes una inteligencia emocional de 8 años (hay frases fuera de contexto), asi es como tratais a los donantes, pero eso no evita que tengais una mala gestion en la asignacion de recursos y tareas, como el mantenimiento de un servidor. El servidor ya esta programado, y las escusas de ataques de denegacion de servicio DDOS, para justificar la inoperancia de los servidores esta desgastada.

Creo que tu falta de respeto denota inmadurez

Please refrain from insulting others. We're here to help, but we have no control over how the work is distributed. We're just volunteers like you.
Some other projects, such as PrimeGrid, provide more consistent workloads. They can generate tasks that run for years with ease, making them a good choice if you want to keep your PC continuously occupied. On the other hand, GPUGrid has been out of work for a month. Are you suggesting they have "poor management" as well?

Considero a Asteroids at home el proyecto mas interesante desde el punto de vista de la visibilidad de los resultados directa y publica, los datos computados tiene un numero que puede ser consultado en la base DAMINT, por ejemplo el resultado ps_250404_input_3731_490_0_r1562681491_0 , ofrece una referencia 3731 segun el damint https://astro.troja.mff.cuni.cz/projects/damit/ (todavia no hay referencias de renderizado para su visualizacion por ser una tarea reciente, pero hay otras como 1382 que es una de las tareas me llevo 1h y 42min que hace referencia un asteroide llamado "Gerti" , las imagenes imagino que son obtenidas en distintos tiempos para saber su eje de rotacion, pero ignoro si los calculos sirven también para conocer su trayectoria o posicion, pero si sirven para saber su eje de rotacion.

A partir de esta semana y la anterior, ya estoy recibiendo cargas de trabajo constantes, sin quedar desprovisto de tareas como las semanas anteriores, al no poder adquirir mas de 500 tareas en progreso, cuando los servidores dejan de enviar los viernes a medio dia, el Sabado a las 22:00h tengo que apagar el ordenador mas potente, dado que ya no tiene tareas que computar. Sin embargo, debo decir que a partir de el viernes de la semana anterior, estoy recibiendo tareas que a diferencias de las anteriores semanas tardan el doble de tiempo en resolverse. ahora llegan casi a los 50 minutos, y esporadicamente hay tareas de 1h y 45 minutos por ejemplo input 1382.

El problema de GPUgrid, son que las investigaciones que publican son breves resumenes, y no se puede acceder al contenido completo de la misma, quedando restringido solo para personal PDI investigador, ademas, antes, al igual que asteroids at home, publicaban los nombres de los colaboradores en esta pagina https://asteroidsathome.net/scientific_results.html, ahora ya no, considero que se debiera retomar esta iniciativa para ser compensado de alguna forma

Desconocía que la gestion, administracion o asignacion de tareas se asignaba a mano. Tampoco he sabido valorar el altruismo con el cual se mantienen, programan o desarrollan el contenido motor del proyecto, me disculpo por ello. Reconozco que he sido maleducado al no ver el esfuerzo que hay detras de estos proyectos gratuitos.

Seria bueno en el caso de no poderse visualizar la simulación de la tarea ejecutándose ( en la sección propiedades), tener en un listado de nombre de colaboradores.

Por otro lado alguien deberia tambien publicar con mas frecuencia el fantastico trabajo que haceis, desde aqui parece todo muy cerrado,
